Short-Term Rental Regulations
Evergreen is unincorporated, so short-term rentals are governed by Jefferson County. The county adopted Section 46 (Short-Term Rentals) and a Vacation Rental Services Ordinance on December 16, 2025, replacing the earlier Board of Adjustment special-exception process with an administrative licensing system. Enforcement is rated strict. A county Short-Term Rental License is mandatory and renews annually, and it is unlawful to operate or even advertise without one. The license number must appear on every listing platform. Applications go through the Jefferson County Citizen Portal. A licensed STR is a single-unit detached dwelling, or a portion of one, with no more than 5 bedrooms, rented for fewer than 30 consecutive days. Owner occupancy and primary residence are not required, but investor-owned STRs are limited to one licensed property per owner in unincorporated Jefferson County and must keep a 750-foot separation from other investor STRs. Submittals include a floor plan, parking plan, trash plan, proof of water and sanitation, wildfire defensible space, and insurance. A local representative must be able to reach the property within 30 minutes. The county runs a 24/7 complaint line at 720-619-3690. A 3% county lodging tax applies, on top of 2.9% Colorado state and 0.5% county sales tax, about 6.4% in total in unincorporated areas. License fees were not confirmed under the new framework, so verify the current schedule with the county before budgeting.
Market Comparison
September 2026 occupancy in the Denver metro and foothills STR market was 70.5%, with an all-listings ADR of $186, while entire-place listings sat at $205, professionally managed listings at $221, and luxury listings at $337. Annual occupancy has held between 66.2% and 74.2% every year since 2017, with 2026 year to date at 69.8%, so the occupancy level is persistent rather than a one-month result. ADR has climbed from $122 in 2017 to $174 in 2026 year to date. Revenue of $3,661 a month per listing is supported by occupancy more than by rate. Top operators are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Evergreen, so this profile omits them. Regulation is the main local difference: the one-license-per-investor cap and 750-foot buffer limit how far a single investor can scale in unincorporated Jefferson County, which is a tighter constraint than a market with no portfolio cap.
